Why Does Speed Seem So Inevitable? Is Faster Always Better? Drawing Together Developments In Religion, Philosophy, Art, Technology, Fashion, And Finance, Mark C. Taylor Presents An Original And Rich Account Of A Great Paradox Of Our Times: How The Very Forces And Technologies That Were Supposed To Free Us By Saving Time And Labor Now Trap Us In A Race We Can Never Win. The Faster We Go, The Less Time We Have, And The More We Try To Catch Up, The Farther Behind We Fall.

Psychologically, Environmentally, Economically, And Culturally, Speed Is Taking A Profound Toll On Our Lives.
